This sweater is the best kind of warm—toasty and snuggly without being too hot. Wool sweaters are my most essential tool for successfully working out of a drafty house during a Michigan winter, and I am really pleased to be adding this one to my toolkit. I have worn it for much of the polar inversion!
The pattern is Shellseeker, which is styled to be like your best slouchy, at-the-beach-in-the-evening pullover. It has a sweatshirt-style pouch pocket! Mmm…cozy. I think the pattern yarn is a cotton-wool blend, but mine is all wool (Stonehedge Shepherd’s Wool Worsted). Less beachy, but definitely what I need now. I’m really happy with both the pattern and the yarn.
It feels like it took forever to knit (I started in March), but that’s only because I put it down for most of the summer. It wasn’t difficult. The stripes kept it interesting and the stockinette made for good TV knitting.
Stay warm!

Oooh, I want this! So much pocket love! This pattern is now definitely in the running for the day (far, far in the future) when I’m ready to take on a grown-up-sized sweater.
Thank you! It would be a pretty good first sweater. Pocket is a little tricky, but other than that it’s just stockinette.
